What happens when we mix acids and bases?

The acid and the base react together to neutralise each other and form salt and water .

What does this mean?
  • When added in suitable amounts acids and bases cancel each other’s effects .
  • The solution we get is neither acidic nor basic .
  • The reaction between an acid and a base is known as Neutralisation reaction .
  • Heat is also a result of the neutralisation reaction.
